Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need an attorney versus a regular tax consultant for my appeal?
Attorney representation is most valuable for high-value properties, complex commercial real estate, cases involving potential constitutional violations, or situations requiring circuit court appeals. Simple residential appeals often don't require legal representation.
Can you handle appeals that go beyond the Value Adjustment Board?
Yes, we're fully licensed to represent clients in Florida circuit courts for property tax appeals that exceed administrative remedies. This includes cases requiring formal litigation, discovery processes, and appellate court representation.
What makes your legal approach different from tax consultants?
Our legal training allows us to pursue constitutional challenges, procedural violations, and litigation strategies unavailable to non-attorney consultants. We can also provide attorney-client privilege and represent clients in formal court proceedings.
Do you handle international clients or complex ownership structures?
Yes, we regularly represent clients with complex ownership entities, international ownership, and sophisticated property structures. Our legal background helps navigate the additional complexities these situations present.
What are your fees compared to traditional tax consultants?
Our fees are typically higher than standard consultants due to our legal expertise and more comprehensive services. However, for complex cases requiring our specialized approach, the additional value often justifies the investment.
Can you challenge the county's assessment procedures themselves?
Yes, we can challenge assessment methodologies, procedural violations, and constitutional issues with county assessment practices that go beyond simple valuation disputes, providing remedies unavailable through standard appeals.
How long do legal property tax appeals typically take?
Legal appeals often take longer than standard consultant appeals due to more thorough case development and potential court proceedings. Simple legal appeals take 4-8 months, while complex litigation can extend 12-18 months or longer.
Do you provide ongoing property tax legal counsel?
Yes, we offer ongoing legal consultation for property tax planning, acquisition analysis, and structuring advice to help clients minimize future tax exposure while maintaining compliance with Florida property tax laws.
